Deferral ended early. (BioLife)
I was deferred earlier this year because the phlebotomist didn't insert the needle correctly and when my blood was being returned it didn't go in me but out all over me, the bed, etc.
Because the machine was full they told me I had to be deferred as this was considered a "whole blood" donation. Eight weeks, 56 days.
On the 30th of June something similar happened when my blood stopped flowing. They tried to switch arms but were not fast enough and my blood clotted. Another whole blood donation, another eight weeks deferral.
Except it wasn't.
On the 28th of July I got an email saying that my deferral has been lifted. (Woooo hooo!)
But that's not even close to 56 days.
But then I remembered that the Red Cross announced a low blood supply emergency, only the second time ever.
My pay also increased significantly. Has usually been $105 to $110 for 2 donations. Last week it was $130 and this week it will be $145!
Has this happened to anyone else?

How dare you pay attention and have a modest memory.
